Background

Status:	Approved
Date Posted:	Aug 10, 2006
Sponsor:	LCRA
Urgent:	No
Sections:	9.4.4, 9.4.6
Description:	This PRR allows ERCOT to cease the calculation of interest (Late Fees) for defaulting entities when the conditions initiating uplift are met. Late Fee calculations will continue for Short paying entities until uplift conditions are met.
Reason:	Currently, the Interest is calculated on any unpaid balance. At 180 days ERCOT must uplift the total short pay amount, excluding late fees. The protocols state that late fees are not uplifted therefore the late fees are continually being compounded. At the time when uplift conditions are met the interest calculation should be discontinued.
